Bulb

A tiny cli for calculating the cost of running bulbs in a light fixture and determining their potential lifespan.

Motivation

I recently had an LED light bulb stop working in one of my fixtures. I thought the bulb had failed prematurely, but after some rough estimates and calculations I realized that the bulb was past its projected lifespan. This caused me to re-evaluate some of my lighting fixtures and the bulbs I had in them.

This utility helped me realize how much money I could save just by turning some fixtures off, or swapping out incandescents for LEDs. It also helps me estimate how long I can expect bulbs in a fixture to last before they need to be replaced.

Building

Simply run make.

Usage

Run ./bulb -h to see the usage message.
